Separateness of the underground community

The whole concept of the agorist community is that they are going to be somewhat self-reliant. That's one reason why I don't usually worry about reconciling with the 'enemies' in government. If the government collapses, its employees can go live wherever they feel like living. The agorist communities will be surviving on their own. They need us, but we don't need them. They need slaves, but slaves don't need owners.

The 'Leave Us Alone' concept means: you don't bother us and we don't bother you. It means we aren't even interested in fighting against the government or doing anything to attack them.

People differ in the long-term plans they imagine for this kind of community. The government will always be paranoid that we're secretly plotting something against them, if they can't see what we're doing. I imagine a community that's physically hidden in such a way that they can't observe or interact with us. It's like Galt's Gulch in Atlas Shrugged, or Zion in The Matrix.

The community will gradually become wealthier and will need to decide what exactly to do with the wealth. They can build better passive defenses against the outside government, but not try to make that government collapse. Or they can use their wealth to do things that actively undermine the government.

If you have what you want, then you must ask yourself, What is the NEXT thing that I want? If you can successfully block out the government, and prevent it from attacking you, then what would you like to do next? If a community could successfully prevent the government, or the unknown attackers whoever they are, from physically attacking me at all hours of the day, then a great many other priorities would become important. I'd want to just live a happy life, enjoy my relationships, develop my skills and abilities, learn new things, have adventures... all of the wonderful things that have been taken away, all of the things that people want in their normal lives.

I wasn't really planning on writing much about this subject, but I was annoyed by some of the responses to the previous 'reconciling' post, so I felt I had to go into another viewpoint or approach to that question.
